Career Guidance and Roundtable Discussion at Oin Junior & Senior High School

On June 13, 2024, Nishimura & Asahi (GKJ)’s Legal Education Team visited Oin Junior & Senior High School to provide career guidance and hold a roundtable discussion to share about becoming a legal professional.

Mayu Okada, Rutsu Matsunaga, and Hitomi Saso (HR), alumni of the school, and Takeshi Nemoto and Yoko Kasai participated.

In the guidance, our team explained the duties of corporate lawyers, how to balance personal life and work, and the various career paths available to lawyers.

We hope these types of initiatives will help students in considering their future career paths and increase the number of women entering the legal profession.
